understand how to behave towards other individuals who have
different religion, ethnicity, culture, nation, state, etc. As a supporter to
teach the understanding of religious moderation to students or other
individuals, the researchers developed a webtoon-based comic media
so that all students or other individuals can be assisted in
understanding religious moderation. The comic media that has been
developed by the researcher can be accessed easily via Android or
PC. Before distributing the media that has been developed, the validity
of the media certainly should be measured. In this case, the webtoon-
based comic media that has been developed has met the validity
criteria of 93.1%, thus it is categorized as very valid. Furthermore, in
order for the comic media developed to be truly effective in increasing
the understanding of religious moderation, it is necessary to measure
the practicality level of the media.
Many studies have been carried out on measuring the practicality of a
media, one of which is a study conducted by Varol & Söylemez that
has developed jobsheet media which is easy to use and encourages
students to learn more actively and independently [5]. Additionally,
another research conducted by Rahayu & Kuswanto revealed that
100% of the students were interested in using comic media due to its
attractive design, while the ease of material in the media obtained a
percentage of 91.74% [6]. Furthermore, the research performed by
Firdaus & Wilujeng found that the LKPD developed obtained a good
response from students, proven by the average response results
obtained of 41.6, which is categorized as good [7]. Based on those
previous studies, it can be seen that through the media practicality
level measurement, the strength and weakness of the media as well
as the users' response towards the media can be obtained. It is
conducted because the purpose of developing a product is to provide
assistance to users, so it is necessary to conduct trials to determine
the practicality level of the comic media that has been developed.
Based on the description above, the researcher is interested in
conducting further research to measure the practicality level of the
webtoon-based comic media that has been developed by the
